Identification and characterization of yeasts isolated from the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Antarctica is considered one of the most extreme environments on Earth because of its low temperatures, dryness, high incidence of solar radiation and low nutrient availability. ...
Diversity and extracellular enzymatic activities of yeasts isolated from King George Island, the sub-Antarctic region
(2012)
Background: Antarctica has been successfully colonized by microorganisms despite presenting adverse conditions for life such as low temperatures, high solar radiation, low nutrient availability and dryness. Although these ...
Physiological adaptations of yeasts living in cold environments and their potential applications
(Springer, 2015)
Yeasts, widely distributed across the Earth, have successfully colonized cold environments despite their adverse conditions for life. Lower eukaryotes play important ecological roles, contributing to nutrient recycling and ...
Polyphenolic substrates and dyes degradation by yeasts from 25 de Mayo/King George Island (Antarctica)
(Wiley, 2013-10-07)
Antarctica offers a range of extreme climatic conditions, such as low temperatures, high solar radiation and low nutrient availability, and constitutes one of the harshest environments on Earth. Despite that, it has been ...
Cold-adapted yeasts from Patagonia Argentina
(Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais. Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, 2016-03)
The Patagonian Andes possess a great variety of glaciers, large temperate ice masses, and glacially formed water bodies. Most of these environments are included in protected areas characterized by low anthropogenic impact ...
Yeasts from glacial ice of Patagonian Andes, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-11)
Glacial ice and snow are known habitats for cold-adapted microorganisms. Research on cold-adapted yeast biodiversity from Perito Moreno and Mount Tronador glaciers (Patagonia, Argentina), and production of extracellular ...
Biosurfactant production by yeasts from different types of soil of the South Shetland Islands (Maritime Antarctica)
(2019-05-01)
Aim: To screen and identify a potential biosurfactant-producing yeast strain isolated from Antarctic soil and to evaluate the fermentation process kinetics of the most promising strain on biosurfactant production using ...
Improvement in extracellular protease production by the marine antarctic yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa L7
(2016-12-25)
Microorganisms from extreme and restrictive eco systems, such as the Antarctic continent, are of great interest due to their ability to synthesize products of commercial value. Among these, enzymes from psychrotolerant and ...
Antarctic-derived yeasts: taxonomic identification and resistance to adverse conditions
(2022-01-01)
Antarctic harsh conditions favor the development of microbial adaptations. In this study, a molecular approach was applied to identify/refine the taxonomy of five yeasts isolated from different Antarctic samples, which ...
Phenol degradation and heavy metal tolerance of Antarctic yeasts
(Springer Tokyo, 2017-05)
In cold environments, biodegradation of organic pollutants and heavy metal bio-conversion requires the activity of cold-adapted or cold-tolerant microorganisms. In this work, the ability to utilize phenol, methanol and ...
